Lyrics:
I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide


I know it's you and me babe
That makes this world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down


Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, come on and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah


It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart in two halves


Ooh I know it's you and me babe
That makes this world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down
